    Although by stopping users right after the search with a scraped LLM answer, they won’t go to other sites like they used to which could serve google ads for them, resulting in less money. Not to even mention the long term issue that with no more traffic or revenue, the websites the AI uses for information will die, making the AI useless.

      True. What I was oversimplifying was that they need to drive the number of AI users up by inflating them through forced use.

      Much like how companies demand employees to integrate AI in their workflow to show that they have AI users in the workplace

      This then inflates the value of AI products, which makes more money for the sellers in that regard

      Just a cycle of bullshit to drive AI investment and sales
